Translatotron avoids the normal action of equating speech to text and after that back to speech once again.

Google has actually revealed Translatotron, an “experimental new system” that it states will equate speech straight into speech, getting rid of the requirement for any text.
“Translatotron is the first end-to-end model that can directly translate speech from one language into speech in another language,” a Google AI post on Wednesday stated.
Google stated there are 3 phases these days’s translation systems: automated speech acknowledgment, which transcribes speech as text; device translation, which equates this text into another language; and text-to-speech synthesis, which utilizes this text to produce speech.
Cascading these actions resulted in services like Google Translate, however the tech giant now states it will utilize a single design without the requirement for text.
“Dubbed Translatotron, this system avoids dividing the task into separate stages,” the post by Google AI software application engineers Ye Jia and Ron Weiss stated.
This will imply quicker translation speed and less intensifying mistakes, according to Google.
The system utilizes spectrograms as input and produces spectrograms, likewise depending on a neural vocoder and a speaker encoder, indicating the system maintains the speaker’s singing attributes when equated.
